Moving up the rod we see typical winston style.
The reel seat is complemented by a high quality wood insert.
You can depend on redington 24 7 just like we do.
Redington this is a brand of highly respected fly rods that have earned a reputation for modest price great action superb warranty and versatility.
I and most everyone else who likes fishing winston rods enjoy fishing small flies on light tippet.
Winston nimbus 9 5wt fly rod.
The balance and swing of the pure 7 3 weight are lovely.
The air stands out from that pack impressively so.
Winston boron iiix fly rod i don t really care for fast action rods even though i understand that they do serve a purpose.
I first cast it with a rio creek wf3f line assuming that it would fold under the line s heavy head.
Lamson litespeed fly reel.
Again nothing wrong with the nimbus at 40 but other rods just tracked and cast a smidge better.
For starters it s notably lighter than the boron iiix.
Over the years i ve gone out on a limb on only very few occasions stating that a particular fly rod leaves little to nothing to be desired.
Let s get straight to it.
Again a good rod at 60 just not great.
In fact the tip is stiff enough to give me pause about fishing anything smaller than 5x on the kairos.
The winston nimbus was pleasant to cast not too heavy and managed to maintain good power control and accuracy at all distances.
Fourteen full color pages filled with limitless ways to up your game in fly fishing.
Felt good at mid distances too.
After a huge announcement i really didn t hear much about them for a while.
The winston boron iiix is one of those rods.
Winston rods are generally my go to for dry flies and the boron iiix has worked its way to the front of my quiver when i need a do it all 9 5wt but the xp is a very close second.
In the pure series winston does a fine job with short graphite fly rods.
Performance at 60 feet.
Winston is in the game for the long haul and you could not be disappointed in any winston fly rod from the lightest 3 wt to a hefty saltwater stick they are superb fly rods.
The 9 5 weight winston launched two new rods this year the kairos and the nimbus and both entered the market well softly.
My overall impression of the nimbus as well as winston s previous two all graphite offerings is that it is the leaner and meaner cousin of the well tempered boron family of rods.
The nimbus sports a progressive fast action.
